Poems: Haiku from Vietnam Trip

By Patricia Garci

Hotel Room
Lizard on the wall
You hide behind the curtain
But your feet still show

Hot Water
Thinking of calling
Room service, there is a knock
On the hotel door

Ancestors
Grandfather spirits
Walked arm in arm yesterday
On the temple grounds

Disarming
In another place
Someone is loading a gun
We sit here in peace

No Car Day
Please use the car less
Walking to work I saw a
Flock of green parrots
